Question 13: Who pays for animal testing?

We do. The taxes we pay are using for animal testing. Some of the taxes we pay inevitably go towards funding animal-based research. Every year, the United States government gives billions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health, which the NIH in turn uses to sponsor research using animals. The NIH conducts animal experimentation in its own facilities, as well as providing funding for vivisection at many private companies, organizations, colleges and universities. With an average annual budget exceeding $12 billion, the NIH is the largest supporter of animal testing in the world.
